Bérkategóriarendszer

Bérkategóriarendszer is a term used in Hungary to describe a system of job grading and salary classification within an organization. It's a structured approach to determining the appropriate pay for different roles based on factors like responsibility, skill requirements, experience, and the complexity of the tasks involved. The primary goal of a bérkategóriarendszer is to ensure internal equity, meaning that employees in similar roles with similar qualifications receive comparable compensation. This system also aids in external competitiveness, helping companies align their salaries with market rates.

The implementation of a bérkategóriarendszer typically involves defining specific job families and then creating a hierarchy of job grades within those families. Each grade is assigned a salary range, which may be fixed or flexible depending on the company's policies. When an employee is hired or promoted, their position is evaluated and placed into the appropriate bérkategória. This classification then dictates their starting salary and potential for future increases. Performance reviews and market adjustments often influence an individual's movement within their assigned salary range or even their progression to a higher bérkategória. The system aims to provide transparency and a clear career path for employees regarding their remuneration.
